This type of cell is one of the basic units of life.
Within the cell are several organelles that help to
perform a function.
What is animal cell
This organelle protects the cytoplasm of the
cell.
What is the cell membrane
This process is the idea that water needs to pass
through the cells. The water particles pass from a
higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated
area to achieve an equal level of water.
What is osmosis
This term is the smallest part of an organism. They
are often not visible. They help to make people,
animals, and plants.
What is a cell
This organelle creates the energy needed by the cells.
What is the mitochondria
Within this process, particles (not water) move from a higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated area over time.
What is diffusion
This type of cell forms the basis of life for plants. They
have similar cells to that of an animal cell, but they
also have a cell wall and a chloroplast.
What are plant cells
This organelle is usually a big part of the cell,
because it controls activities and growth of the
cell.
What is the nucleus
The idea that only a select few molecules can leave
and exit a cell.
What is selective permeability
These organisms only have one cell, but can still
perform basic functions, like moving, getting
nutrients, and exchanging gas. An example would be
an amoeba.
What is unicellular
This organelle is a rigid, protective, and supportive outer layer located outside the cell membrane in plants, fungi, algae, and most bacteria. It is NOT found in an animal cell.
What is a cell wall
Similar cells combined form this term. The four major
types of this term are epithelial, connective, muscular,
and nervous.
What is tissue
This type of cell uses two or more cells to make
up an organism.
What is multicellular
This organelle is a specialized, double-membrane organelle found in plant and algae cells that conducts photosynthesis to provide food for plants. It is not found in animal cells
What is chloroplast
These can be any animal or plant cells, or any
cell that exists on its own.
What are organisms
This concept was developed in the 1600s and has
three basic principles: 1) a cell is the basic unit of
life, 2) all cells come from pre-existing cells, and 3)
all living things are made up of one or more cells.
What is cell theory
This organelle is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cells of plants, fungi, animals, and protists. In plant cells, it is MUCH larger! This organelle acts as a storage container for cells.
What is a vacuole
These are a build up of similar tissues that create
something to perform a function in the body. For
example, hearts, lungs, and eyes, are all these.
What are organs
